Small-Group Intervention for Texas Word Problems in the Grade 3 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR)
We designed this small-group intervention to help elementary students solve word problems presented on the Texas standardized test, the STAAR. We developed this version of the program to offer support to students who require supplemental mathematics remediation in the area of word-problem solving. The focus of this intervention is single-digit and double-digit additive and multiplicative word problems that include four schemas: Total, Difference, Change, and Equal Groups.
